Bioluminescence is the fascinating natural phenomenon by which living creatures produce
light. Bioluminescence occurs when the oxidation of a small-molecule luciferin is catalysed …

Flavoprotein monooxygenases (FPMOs) are single-or two-component enzymes that
catalyze a diverse set of chemo-, regio-and enantioselective oxyfunctionalization reactions …

This book, written by a distinguished scientist in the field, provides a comprehensive
overview of the biochemical aspects of all luminous organisms currently known. It is the first …

Although fluorescent reporters and biosensors have become indispensable tools in
biological and biomedical fields, fluorescence measurements require external excitation …

Biosynthesis of the flavonoid naringenin in plants and bacteria is commonly catalysed by a
type III polyketide synthase (PKS) using one p-coumaroyl-CoA and three malonyl-CoA …

Autoluminescent plants engineered to express a bacterial bioluminescence gene cluster in
plastids have not been widely adopted because of low light output. We engineered tobacco …

Covering: up to September 2020 Mushroom-forming fungi of the division Basidiomycota
have traditionally been recognised as prolific producers of structurally diverse and often …

Bioluminescence has long been used to image biological processes in vivo. This technology
features luciferase enzymes and luciferin small molecules that produce visible light …

Despite being widely used in reporter technologies, bioluminescent systems are largely
understudied. Of at least forty different bioluminescent systems thought to exist in nature …

The discovery of the bioluminescence pathway in the fungus Neonothopanus nambi
enabled engineering of eukaryotes with self-sustained luminescence. However, the …
